UDS Discussion
-------
Situation today:
* Lack of planning, adhoc testing -> Creation of a test plan for functional and non-functional system wide testing
* Lack of smoke testing for utuntu touch images
* Autopilot 1.3 is pending it's release, a phablet autopilot is used today but we halted development for it; some tests are broken due to this.
Short term plan:
* Put smoke testing in place ASAP
* Have cdimage pull bits into /pending.
* UE-jenkins to trigger copy from /pending to /current
* app-specific autopilot tests still belong in PS
* UE will investigate PS autopilot tests for suitability to use for smoke testing or come up with additional smoke tests
Interesting non-UI tests that would be valuable?
- Identify if the hardware bits are working (camera, GPS, wifi, etc)
- Indicators are valuable and worth testing during smoke
- ogra has code that queries sanity of the image already there
- actually he looks at sergio's results of application autopilot tests
asac's post session comments (on test targets vs. x86 vs. emulator)
+ yes, we want to test on real devices
+ yes, we want to support our desktop users
+ yes, we want to use emulator, even for x86 for that
+ x86 image will be required, but android upstream and goldfish support that, so phone/foundation should be able to do this.
+ Q for QA: can you run goldfish emulator?
[plars] once it's supported by the images, we would treat it just as another device type, I don't foresee any problem to support this
asac's post session comments/braindump on what smoke tests:
+ check if hardware is available through /proc or other basic stuff like ifconfig etc.
+ check out the android testsuites available in AOSP for the hal layer - might require dalvik to use most of those, but some tests are available in C
+ add all core smoke tests you would usually run on ubuntu?
+ add something that uses the whole UI
+ pull in tests developed by the components developers (e.g. our camera application tests etc.)
+ agreed that you cannot skip UI; just start testing low level basics and then add something high level using full stack as well.
+ I am not sure that defining smoke testing from QA perspective (the definition saying "fast fail to determine if more testing is OK") is the right approach. I believe smoke testing should reveal all the critical tests that prevent an image to become available to the inner ring of users/stakeholders: developers, hardcore users/designers, managers and sales.
+ smoke tests are those tests that were decided to hold the presses and immediately refocus all energy leaded to fix these - potentially accepting delay on all regular projects.
+ consider: asac has the mandate to call people at any point of time and get them drop all and fix the smoke tests. I believe we want to do that for strategic issues as well as issues that block a good proportion of inner circle users from above
Session Summary

Interesting non-UI tests that would be valuable?
- Identify if the hardware bits are working (camera, GPS, wifi, etc)
- Indicators are valuable and worth testing during smoke
- images are currently tested in PS using the application autopilot tests

touch testing:
- default: run full settle script
- before every test: run it with 30 second per measurement
- after test just run just one measurement (e.g. one time 30 seconds)
